SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Members of the House of Commons, honestly attached to the cause of the People, and desirous of maintaining in power a Liberal Administration, will not fail, at any personal sacrifice, to be present in Par liament on the first day of the Session, the 4th of February. The Tory faction, now at their last gasp, and with hardly a hope of a return to power, will ne vertheless make desperate efforts to embarrass Minis ters. The " Conservatives" are already actively caballing and plotting to take the Reformers by sur prise when Parliament meets. Every Liberal Repre sentative of the People ought, therefore, to be at his post, in order to defeat these machinations. Already the note of preparation and muster has been sounded by the Tory Press, on the false pretence, some weeks since, that Ministers had used extraordinary means to ensure the attendance of members interested in their sup port, and that the Government was tottering to its fall. Now, indeed, their calculation of Ministerial lon gevity is different, although despair often impels men to attempt strange things. It is understood that some agitators of the " Opposition"—.-second-rate men , who would wish to be thought leaders—in tend to display their whole strength on an amendment to the Address, and that many factious stratagems are to be practised in the course of the first week. From the state of parties with respect to numbers in the " Peel-chosen Parliament," it becomes essential that the Liberals should rally in the House of Commons on the first day. If Ministers should not receive such support, a new Parliament must be the immediate consequence. It is now notorious that many consti tuencies throughout the kingdom are anxious to rid themselves of some of the pretenders who, at the last hustings, imposed upon their credulity by as suming Liberal professions, and that a very consider able change in many of the emancipated cities and boroughs in favour of Reform, must occur on the first opportunity. If, therefore, Members - are desirous of avoiding the necessity of a dissolution, or if they are anxious to stand well with their constituents, they must be early and unremitting in their attend ance. We are on the eve of a most eventful ses sion. This year will probably decide the question, whether the Lords are to exercise a complete dominaL tion over the Commons—whether they are to render the reform of the representation a dead letter, and to plunge Ireland in anarchy and civil war. Other questions of paramount importance will come early under discussion in the House of Commons. The Ministerial changes unavoidably prolonged last session, but it is now vitally important that several subjects of pressing importance should be early„ lecided and for warded to the Peers. We, therefore, again urge all real Reformers, members of the Lower House, to attend in their places, ready for the conflict, on the first day of the session. The times are of no common character. Although reform has been constantly gaining, and notwithstanding all the changes in par ties, yet Toryism still assumes a bold front, and re quires to be constantly watched. Sir Robert Peel, we know, is much mistrusted by the " Conservatives," and they openly proclaim their suspicion of his pre sent views ; but past experience teaches us that the Right Honourable Baronet is cunning in his " turns ;" and his turn-coat Journal, the Times, boldly announces that wherever Sir Robert turns, his subservient party must accompany him. The Reformers, therefore, must be on their guard, and look well to their Repre sentatives.—Morning Chronicle. We copy from the AugsburgGaz t qte an article upon the subject of Russia and Europe, which, whilst it af fects to deprecate the idea of Russian conquest in the East, admits, in unequivocal terms, the new policy of that empire with reference to Poland. The great ob ject which the Autocrat is confessed to have in con templation at present confines itself to the advancement - of his territory to those landmarks in the West of Europe which will enable him to maintain there the position he deems himself entitled to by his rank in the scale of nations. The plain translation of this disclo sure is, that Poland is to be so completely incorporated with the empire as not to be distinguishable from it by any boundary or by any national peculiarity what ever. It is to have the same religion, the same laws, the same language, the same civil and military and scho lastic institutions, the same Treasury, the same species of public force, and the same slavery as the province of Smolensk or Moscow. To this consummation all the recent acts of the Imperial Government converge with a steadiness of aim, a recklessness of rights, a defiance of public opinion, and a fearlessness of resist ance, that betray at every step the resolution of a bar barian conqueror. Onward he goes with a passionate impetuosity, which pushes aside all diplomatic reserve, determined to achieve his purpose or to lose his crown and his life, and to destroy even his dynasty in the attempt. By the organic statute Poland has been already nominally incorporated with the empire—a flagrant violation of the Treaty of Vienna, and of the Constitution granted to that kingdom by Alexander. In order to render this formal union one of complete identification in substance and in every relation of so ciety, the establishments for a distinct Polish Admi nistration have been abolished. No such persons as Polish functionaries are now recognized—those who serve in Poland, either in the army, or the public offices are " Russian.," The Russian language has been substituted for the Polish in all the transac tions of Government in the latter country, contrary to the rights and long established customs of Po land. The two most celebrated Polish Universities have been shut up. In the secondary and inferior schools, where the Polish language was uniformly em ployed as the medium for conducting every department of education, the Russian tongue is now exclusively used, and that tongue is insisted upon as the first object of every pupil's instruction. Those Polish functionaries who do not speak Russian, are superseded by Russians, who are rapidly obtaining possession of ail the branches of the imperial service. Religion is considered by Nicholas simply as a political instrument. He has so used it in Greece, in Turkey, in Wal lachia and Moldavia, and he is now applying it by every practicable device in Poland. Several convents and churches belonging to the Latin Catholics he has, by acts of usurpation and violence, paralleled only in Ireland, bestowed upon the Greek clergy. He has ordained by ukase that in every family in which either parent is of the Greek worship, the children must be brought up to that profession of faith. All the recruits added from Poland to the army must adopt the same faith, according to the ex press declaration of Nicholas, who has said that " slavei have no religion but that of their masters." Our Correspondent in Constantinople, a few days ago, stated that the new Greek Patriarch in that capital, who was elected through Russian in fluence, has evinced his gratitude to his Imperial Patron by issuing a prohibition against females of the Greek Church intermarrying with men of a different faith—a prohibition also borrowed from the infamous code that once existed in Ireland. We have still to mention another fact, stated to us upon authority in which we have every reason to rely. It appears that six thousand unmarried individuals, from the inte rior of Russia, were sent to Poland, to assist in the construction of the citadel of Warsaw, and the fort of Modlin, at the distance of about twenty-five miles from the capital. As soon as the fortifications were completed, a sum of one hundred roubles was given to each of these persons ; and they were distributed through the Polish villages, with the double purpose of having a Russian spy . in each village, and of forming a nucleus, through the intermarriage of these settlers, for the Greek Church. Under one pretext or another their numbers are to be increased from time to time. On the other hand, the Poles who are transplanted to Siberia, and to the military colonies, are married to Russian women, ana tnusl ose not only their country but their religion. We had occasion lately to mention a ukase, by which confiscated estates of Polish exiles were given to six teen Russian officers, upon whose families they were entailed. A plan is understood to be in contempla tion, by which one hundred new entails are to be created in Poland in favour of other Russian func tionaries. Thus every measure of a higher or lower grade, from the premeditated invective of an infuriated despot, down to the appointment of the lowest agent o f police, is studiously contrived to forward one and the same purpose—the prostration of the nationality of Poland—because that, even as it yet exists in mere a b a d ow , is the only barrier which intercepts the con nection between Russia and Western Europe—the ' only obstacle which prevents the Northern Empire from enjoying a European position. Poland is to be sacrificed to the Autocrat's ambition, which points to ascendency in the councils of the Continent—an as cendency which he never can acquire, if the Govern ments of France and England be faithful to the wishes of the two nations. The Chamber of Deputies is bound by its solemn vote to the restoration of the Polish kingdom to the full possession of its rights. It is not improbable that a similar pledge will be given by the House of Commons. With these two votes, and the sympathies of Hungary and Germany in their favour, the Poles can hardly fail to find the means, sooner or later, of frustrating the iniquitous designs of their oppressor.—Morning Chronicle. We all recollect the history of the Session 1835, and the pertinacity with which the O'Connell Minis ters clung to that very particular and perverse crotchet, whereby they contrived, first, to force Sir Robert Peel out of office in their own behalf ; and, secondly, to defeat the Irish Tithe Bill, introduced by themselves into Parliament, and which, but for that beautiful device of faction, a clause which had no con cern with the principle of the Bill, both Lords and Commons would, without difficulty, have enacted. The O'Connell Whigs made it a sine qua non of their system of legislation respecting the Irish Church, that the principle of diverting the funds of the Church to other than Protestant purposes must be recognized in the body of whatever Bill should be brought in for adjusting the revenues of that establishment. When a Bill for that important end was introduced by Sir Henry Hardinge, embodying whatever were best among the provisions of the measure which had been framed by the Whigs in the year preceding, but greatly improving upon them all, and rendering the Bill as a financial measure more advantageous both for the public and for the clergy, t he O'Connell Whigs insisted on saddling the practical clauses of the Bill with a resolution, not merely in its nature speculative, but such as all men who had looked into the subject of church revenues were conscious could never be en forced in practice, and thereby secured the real object of their manoeuvre, namely, the resignation of Sir Robert Peel, who disdained to sacrifice a fundamental principle of State policy for the sake of retaining office. The Whigs then came in upon, and for, the the assertion of the opposite principle. When, next, they brought forward their own tithe measure, and strapped up the heterogenous appropriation clause upon the back of it, the House of Lords separated those parts of the measure which bore no natural relation to each other, and had the O'Connell Whigs chosen to accept the bill as the majority of the Lords approved it, the tithes of Ireland would have been at this mo ment commuted, and many human lives since sacrificed to the spirit of insurrection would have been spared. The appropriation clause, therefore, was the hinge on which turned the existence of the O'Connell Whig Administration. It was made, by themselves, the test of their policy, and the key to their sense of public duty. They pledged themselves to stand or fall by it ; they pronounced Sir Robert Peel and the Conservatives unfit to hold office, and undeserving public confi dence, because the Right Hon. Baronet and his friends would not admit in theory an abstract principle, which, in 1834, the same Melbourne Whigs rejected, be cause it was an abstract principle. All this amounted to a solemn proclamation before the country, that no Ministers ought to be endured as such, who would refrain from making an assertion of the disputed prin ciple an integral portion of any measure for regulating the property of the Irish church. Of course, his Ma jesty s O'Connell Ministers were sincere in such ap peals to the country. Of course, there was no faction in such their proceedings, no mean desire to turn Con servatives out of office, no sordid appetite to fill their places and to appropriate their salaries. Of course, tl:c spoliation doctrine was not meant for a mere trick to serve a turn—a mere ladder whereon the Irish fiend and his familiars might mount into the Go vernment, and then kick it from behind them. These are all things beyond dispute. Then it fol lows that we must cast aside as utterly incredible —as monstrous and hateful slanders upon the Mi nisters—for even Whigs may be calumniated—we must, we say, repudiate as horrible slanders the re ports, however laboriously circulated, that an Irish Church Bill is to be brought in by the O'Connell Cabinet, with the appropriation clause left out ! We declare once more, it cannot be,—the annals of iniquity, the archives of hypocrisy, the memorabilia of human turpitude, have signalized no baseness equal or com parable to this. If the appropriation clause be not es sential, in the judgment of Whigs, to a satisfactory and definitive settlement of the tithe question, why did they twice affirm that it was so in the course of the last ten months ? Why did they turn out the Conserva tives upon it ? Why, upon the strength of it, did they resume the Government ? Why, in affected deference to it, did Lord Melbouene toss up his nose at the bill brought in by his own Cabinet, which, minus the single appropriation clause, the House of Lords were ready, nay most desirous, to pass ? Are the O'Connell-Mel bournes not yet satisfied that all the better portion of the people of England have agreed as to their political attri butes and virtues ? Do they apprehend that any shadow of doubt yet hangs upon the country with regard to the true motives which impel and rule such a body as the rump of the Whigs? O'Connell's countenance is not suf ficient to accredit them ; they must give bail themselves, as well as by their sureties. They must prove, on their own behalf, that they are not unworthy of his patronage. But will Mr. Daniel O'Connell rejoice in this especial evidence to the honour and consistency of his allies ? However flattering to his choice of political agents any proof that they are men whom no one else can trust, will Daniel, we repeat, be quite prepared to find himself the victim of their treachery ? The un derstood conditions of the bargain were, that the Whigs should be tenants-at-will of Downing -street, but that he should have the fee-simple of the Irish Church. Now, if it be fact that Archbishop Whate ley is busied in concocting a Bill without that clause which is equivalent to a recognition of O'Connell's title to all Church property, why the Agitator is pal pably choused. A Bill so mutilated is one, indeed, for prolonging the Whig tenure of Downing -street, and for postponing, sine die, the entrance of Daniel into possession of his new purchase. Will, again, so keen a hand as he has shown himself in the affair of Raphael, be fobbed off in this free and easy fashion ? We guess not : either an appropriation clause, or a split with the Popish power—that's flat. Well, but the English Radicals, what will they say to the shuffle-major of the Melbournes ? The English Radicals, entertaining views in relation to Church and State which we unfeignedly believe to be not merely inconsistent with Constitutional monarchy, but with all good and steadygovernment under any imaginable form, have nevertheless more honesty in their little fingers, than is to be found throughout the whole array of Irish Intriguers and of Downing-street Whigs. The English Radicals may be wrong-headed, and we think they are so ; they may be fanatical, short-sighted, vi sionary —many of them fierce, turbulent, and aspiring —we believe they are so : but there is about them some openness of character, some directness of pur pose—some zeal for the public welfare, according to their (in our minds, perverse) views of it. We re peat, that there is a smack of honesty about them, which belongs in no degree to either the O'Connell in cendiaries or the rump-Melbourne Whigs. How, then, will the body of English Radicals, who acted bona fide in their attacks upon the Irish Church— how will they relish the abandonment by Ministers of that one principle which formed the first great bond and cement of th e lea g ue--the cl ause for common league h aliehating the revenues of the Irish clergy ? Why, they will indignantly desert and denounce the recreant rump. They will shake the dust from off their feet, and quit the House of Commons, and in doing so they will act like honest men. They will leave Lord J. Russell in the beautiful predicament of having none on the Church question to u Sir 11: Peel and his 320 C s ol p ls p e o r r y t h ativ is es l l 4_o f im hi e a s s . but Most cordially do we congratulate the friends of Re form and of Ireland on the prospect which is now being opened through the medium of the Irish Re form Association. The assembly at the Royal Ex change, Dublin, on the first meeting of that body, of which we give an account elsewhere, combined more of the intelligence, property, and rank of the country than was perhaps ever before brought together for a po litical purpose in that metropolis. We rejoice—most heartily do we rejoice in this powerful organization of the Reformers of Ireland. It will secure an unanimity of purpose and of action amongst the Liberals which must prove irresistible, and will not only rescue Ire land from the fangs of an oppressive and intolerant faction, but also from the greedy gripe of her over paid advocate. The utmost concert and enthusiasm prevailed at the meeting ; Mr. O'Connell was not there ; and all appeared actuated by feelings of ge nuine patriotism, and a firm determination to seek re dress of grievances, by -promoting and protecting the legitimate exercise of the elective franchise. A month has not elapsed since this Association was originated, and it already numbers nearly two thousand names of the first property and influence I It is only . surprising that such a Society did not spring sooner into exist ence ; but the disgust generally felt at the duplicity and knavery of one individual, prevented many of the honest and independent Reformers from taking that part which they would otherwise have done in Irish politics. The partisans of Mr. O'Connell endeavoured to have it believed that the Society was formed at that gentleman's suggestion ; but that on account of the odium which he knew to exist against him, he did not wish to take an active part in its proceed ings until its organization became perfected. The report has not the slightest foundation in truth ; but the attempt to give it currency shows that O'Connell's name is no recommendation to the in telligent portion of the Irish community, and that our recent comments were at least justified by the opinions of those to whom he is best known. His influence may now be considered at an end. The patriots of Ireland are combining—there is no place for Mr. O'Connell amongst them—and he may now bid a long adieu to all his greatness—his unjust, his unholy greatness. The speech of Mr. Sergeant Woulfe con tains a most luminous analysis of the present state of the Irish representation in regard to the relative pro perty and numbers of different parties, and the effect to be produced by the action of the Registration So ciety. The following extract will be read with in terest : " The wrong, my Lord, which I complain of is, that out of the 105 Members who represent Ireland we have only about 70, and that the Conservatives have 35. The pro per and just proportion ought to be, and I trust will be -90 to us, and 15 to them.—(Hear.) My Lord, it is not only that we ought to have 90, but I trust that the result of the next general election will leave us that number of liberal representatives. Indeed, upon this point I scarcely entertain a doubt.—(Cheers.) Why . do I say, my Lord Clements, that the proper proportion would be 90 to 15 ? Because, if you go through an examination in -de tail of each of the liberal constituencies in Ireland, you will find it quite palpable that out of the 105 Members we ought to possess 90 at least. But this, Gentlemen, would be a detail occupying more time than it would be suitable to occupy in a meeting like this. A very accurate calculation of the relative strength of the parties can be made from statistical returns which are before the public. These are my data. I am sure I do not exaggerate when I say that the Liberal party in Ireland comprises, at,this mo ment, a majority of the intellect, rank, and wealth of the country : that it comprises a large proportion of the landed aristocracy of the country, including members of the first families in the kingdom ; that it comprises a vast number of the landed proprietary of Ireland, the extensive capital ists, and a great portion of the commercial wealth of the country, the entire, I may say, of the derivative interest in lands ; and the entire of the small traders, among whom there is so much capital divided in the south and in a great part of Ireland. Ido not exaggerate, when I say that at least one-half of the property of the country is in the hands of the Liberal party. The Conservatives claim to them selves a superiority of wealth over the Members of the Li beral party ; but taking together all the Lib era l mem b ers of the Church of England, Dissenters, and others, who act with the Roman Catholics, we have at least an equality of wealth with them. But if, in point of wealth, we are not their superiors, in point of numbers how do we not surpass them ? The Liberal party comprises at least 7,000,000, while they, at the very most, have but 1,000,000. True it is—as Mr. Woulfe observed—if the Re formers of Ireland exerted themselves, and we will add, if their efforts had not been misdirected or marred by paltry personal ambition, the measures so supremely essential to the political welfare of Ireland would not now be in contemplation, but in actual enjoyment. However, it is needless to repine over the past, unless with a view of profiting by its experience. The Irish Reformers have-now flung off the yoke of the Dictator, and Mr. O'Connell, left alone in his glory, now has an opportunity of forming, unencumbered and un shackled, that alliance which, he says, was for five years his most ardent desire—an alliance with the " bloody-minded Orangemen." It would certainly be an appropriate union—each has wrought many evils for Ireland ; and the consummation of a union before their political death would be a legitimate termination of their iniquities.—Morning Advertiser. As considerable curiosity and anxiety have been expressed relative to the commercial treaty with Por tugal, which it has been said by the Ministerial jour nals would prove, when concluded, the triumphant re sults of Lord Palmerston's intervention in favour of Donna Maria, we beg leave to call the attention of ous readers to the latest correspondence on the subject which has been received.from the Portuguese capital:— " LISBON, JAN. 9.—At length one step has been taken towards the arrangement of our commercial relations with this country. The basis of the treaty has been submitted by Lord Howard de Walden to the Government here, and his Lordship has been in oommunication with the Marquis of Loule on the subject. Frorn the dilatory habits of offi cial people here, some time will probably elapse before any answer is returned ; and until then it will be quite impos sible to say what shall be the terms of the treaty, if (which is extremely doubtful) any be concluded. The terms proposed by the British Government will certainly not be agreed to by the Portuguese, while those which will be offered can never, I am persuaded, be come the basis of a treaty between Great Britain and Portugal. If the arrangement is left in the hands of the present Government we shall have a long and fruitless ne gociatiou, terminating in the establishment of an almost prohibitory tariff. Indeed, they made a very characteristic beginning by claiming the right to put in force any tariff or Custom-house regulation they might please from the Ist of February next, the period at which our treaty expires, and without giving our merchants any previous intimation of the nature of the regulations to which their commerce was to be subject. We owe it, however, to the vigilance and firmness of the Minister who watches over British in terests in this part of the world that such a claim has been hopelessly abandoned. The present regulations will con tinue in force until new commercial regulations shall have been formed, of the nature of which sufficient notice will, of course, be given." It will, perhaps, be imagined by some Whig- Radicals that the foregoing picture of our mercantile relations with the LuSitaman nation is the emanation of some violent partisan of Don Miguel. We must undeceive these gentry. We have borrowed the letter from the columns of the Chronicle, the organ of the Melbourne Cabinet. We have not a word to add in the way of comment ; we leave the whole statement to the judgment of the great manufacturing houses in Great Britain, and we ask what will be their gain from the changes of dynasty effected by the never-to be-forgotten intervention of the present Whig-Radical Foreign Secretary ?—MorningPost. KING'S BENCH.-MONDAY. THE NEW CORPORATION ACT.-THE KING V. ARNOLD. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied that a mandamus should issue to the defendant, the town-clerk of the borough of Poole, commanding him to allow two persons, of the names of Scott and Lancaster, upon the payment of the fee of l s., directed by the new Municipal Corporation Act, to inspect the voting papers for the election of town coun cillors, and to make copies thereof at their own expense. The application was made in consequence of an attempt to defeat a most useful provision of the Corporation Act. — Rule to show cause granted. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1836. THE KING V. SAMUEL BENNETT. Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT moved for a rule to show cause why a quo warranto should not issue, calling on the defen dant to show cause by what authority he claimed to exer cise the office of town councillor of the borough of Brid port.—The Coma granted the rule to show cause. THE KING V. BOXALL AND ANOTHER. Mr. CLARKSON moved for a rule to show cause why there should not be a writ of procedendo issued in this case. There was an indictment against thirty-three defendants resident in and near Clapham, charging them with a con spiracy to drive the prosecutor off the road. Two of these defendants had applied to Mr. Justice Littledale for a cer tiorari, and the affidavit on which that application was granted was now before him. He should shortly state its nature to the Court. It stated, in the first place, that great prejudice existed against the defendants and ethers in the neighbourhood of Clapham ; in the next, that th e defendanie were desirous of having at their trial the assistance of more eminent men than usually attended at the Central Criminal Court—(A laugh)—thirdly, that many nice and difficult points of law would arise upon the trial, and therefore that the indictment ought to be tried before one of his Majesty's Judges ; and, lastly, that the defendants desired to have their case decided by a Special Jury. Lord DENMAN saw no inconvenience likely to follow from this proceeding, except the having preferred this voluminous indictment. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS concurred, and the rule was refused. BAIL COURT. PETERHOUSE COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. Mr. PETERSDORF applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why a mandanzus should not issue to the Master of Peterhouse College, Cambridge, calling upon him to admit a fellow presented by the heir and representative of Arch bishop Sands, by whom the College had been endowed. Rule nisi granted. PALLISIER V. BRYANT. This was an action brought to recover the balance of a bill, and of an account of goods supplied. The plaintiff is a sadler residing in the metropolis, and the defendant is a coach proprietor. After several wit nesses had been examined for the plaintiff, the Counsel for the defendant stated that the defence to the action was a denial of the bill being accepted by the defendant, and the amount claimed for goods delivered not being fairly charge able on the defendant, inasmuch he was not satisfied that they were applied to his exclusive benefit. As, however, defendant could not disprove by any evidence which he could adduce the statements made by the witnesses for the plaintiff, he must submit to have a verdict taken against him. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1621. COMMON PLEAS-MONDAY. LEIGH V. LEIGH. Mr. HUMFREY showed cause why the service of the writ of right should not be set aside. The writ was first pur chased on the 29th of December, 1834 ; it was re-sealed from time to time, and the return day altered under the following circumstances :—Ejectments had been pending against the tenant before the writ issued, and a bill was filed in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, with an allegation of twenty years' adverse possession, to restrain the ejectments. A demurrer was taken to this bill on the part of the de mandant, which was allowed by the Vice-Chancellor, but on an appeal to the Lords Commissioners was by them over ruled. The writs of right were re-sealed. The affidavit which he held in his hand stated that it was the practice of the Cursitor's office to make out only one prcecipe when the writs were re-sealed. Unless the demandant had done this he would have been totally barred of all remedy. The rule was made absolute, it being the opinion of the Court that if this re-sealing were allowed to prevent the operation of the statute, which was intended for the benefit of tenants, it would be in effect abrogating the Act of Par liament. CONSISTORY COURT.-MONDAY. RAY V. SHERWOOD AND RAY, FALSELY CALLED SHERWOOD. Dr. LUSHINGTON gave judgment to-day in this case, which was a suit for nullity of marriage on the ground of incest, the parties being within the prohibited degrees. In June, 1835, Emma Sarah Ray was married to Mr. Sher wood, who had been previously, in July, 1827, married to Rachel Ray, her sister, who died in a few years after her marriage. A libel had been given in on the part of Mr. Robert Ray, who promoted the suit, alleging him to be the father of Emma Sarah Ray, and as such interested in the legitimacy or illegitimacy of her children. In addition t o 'the common averments, and those respecting the marriage of Emma Ray, the marriage of her sister in 1827, and the death of the latter in 1834, the libel contained further al legations that the marriage was clandestine, and that the parties were not resident in the parish in which they were married ; but upon these points he did not conceive that the Court was called upon to express any opinion • because, in th e first place, he knew not what effect the clandestinity of the marriage could have upon the question which he had to de cide.; and because, in the second place, it had been completely settled that the non-residence of the parties could not with propriety be pleaded in a suit for nullity of marriage ; nor did he think that the Court could take into its consideration the expedition with which the father had attempted to avail him self of his right. He did not mean to say that any of these were unfit originally to have been pleaded; but it was the duty of the Court to look only at those facts which could guide it to a just conclusion upon the merits of the whole case. The additional articles pleaded the property to which Emma Sarah Ray was entitled. The libel had been very fully, laboriously, and learnedly argued. After going at length into the case, the Learned Judge said there had been points raised in the case, which ought not to have biased the judgment of the Court, viz.—that there was no cohabitation between the parties, and that there was an in clination on the part of the wife to withdraw from the con nection. It was true that if that marriage could have been set aside, it might have been productive of much happiness ; but it was also equally true that he was bound to decide the case upon the principles of the law, without reference to any such circumstances. He had now gone at some length into the various reasons which had induced him to come to the conclusion against Mr. Ray. He was under the necessity of rejecting the allegation. GREENHILL V. GREENHILL. This was a suit for divorce, on the ground of adultery, promoted by Henrietta Lavinia Greenhill against her hus band, Mr. Greenhill ; and, the fact of adultery being ad mitted, Dr. LuSHINGTON pronounced for the divorce. The KING'S ADVOCATE said the only question left for the Court to determine was the amount of alimony —per manent alimony—which it would allot to the wife. The property of Mr. Greenhill wa< large. He was possessed of a house, called Knowle House, in Somersetshire, of the value of 400/., though Mr. Greenhill pretended to estimate it at only 80/. per annum. It, however, appeared that lately 3001. had been refused. Mr. Greenhill had also estates to the value of 3,000/. per an num, which, in cons equence o f a , diminution- in the rents, he, by his account, reduced to 1,9261. per annum. He then made a variety of deductions, by which he fritteredthe sum,according to his own account, of 1,926/. to 311/. per annum. Dr. ADDAMS, on behalf of Mr. Greenhill, contended that 469/. per annum was the whole amount of property which he possessed. Dr. LUSHINGTON, looking at all the circumstances of the case, did not consider that 3501. per annum was a large allotment of alimony. The Court allotted accordingly 3501. per annum per manent alimony, and, pending suit, after the rate of 100/. per annum. PHIPPS V. PHIPPS. In this suit for divorce, on grounds of adultery, brought by William Henry Phipps against Anna Maria Phipps, his wife, Dr. Lushington pronounced for the divorce. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Michael Peter Carpenter, a young man, who styled himself in his schedule " a Gentleman," was opposed by Mr. Nicholls on the part of a creditor named Walter Levi. He was supported by Messrs. Cooke and Woodroffe. The insolvent had been a cabinet-maker, and was, he said, a sort of a master. He married about three years ago a cousin, who was one of the Committee of her father, :lunatic, and was allowed for his support by the Court of Chancery the sum of 1,800/. a year. She was entitled to 400/. a year pin money. His wife was sole heiress of her father, and would on his death become entitled to various property, amounting in value to 60,000/. He had executed no settlement on his marriage. In 1834 he had received the 1,800/. from the Court of Chancery and 200/. of the pin money. He had lived with his father-in-law in the Mile-end-road, and a portion of that - sum was expended in housekeeping. He had, he said, been cheated out of a great deal. His insolvency had been occasioned by losses by playing at skittles, tossing, and various other gambling. He had, he said, spent a good deal that way. In the same year he borrowed money of Mr. Levi, which went in gam bling ; other money went for " negus." There had been no valuation made of his wife's clothes, as the property in the house where her father lived belonged to his estate. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER did not suppose her per sonal ornaments and petticoats belonged to her father.— (Laughter.) The insolvent, in answer to further questions, said he had burnt some bank -notes. He had had one evening a drop of wine too much, and he held, when he got home, some bank-notes over a candle, and burnt them. Mr. NtcnoLLs—Did not the notes amount to between 200/. and 300/. ? Insolvent—Not so much c there were about 180/. I had them in care for my wife.—(Laughter.) Mr. NtcHoLLs—l believe you the same evening put a Newfoundland dog into a cupboard to break a large quan tity of china ? The insolvent did not. He was examined relative to a debt which was owing to his father. He was allowed by his wife two hundred pounds a-year, and had for a debt a horse and stanhope, and the duplicates of two gold watches, which property he valued at one hundred pounds. He should have been enabled to have paid Mr. Levi, had he no t had the " misfortune" to burn the notes. The case, after some further discussion, stood adjourned sine die. Mr. Biggs, a coachmaker, was appointed assignee ; and the insolvent's father to give up the property he held for the creditors. We hear that the expenditure of the defunct Cor poration, for the five years ending on the 31st of December last, amounted, for legal and parliamentary business alone, to the large sum of 31,000/.—Liverpool Chronicle. NEWS OF CAPTAIN ROSS. Ness, Stromness, Orkneys, Jan. 11. • Sir,—l have the pleasure to announce the safe arrival his Majesty's shop Cove, Captain J. C. Ross, at Longhope Sound on the 19th. This information I had from Lieut. Inman, second of that ship, who reached this port in quest of information about the missing whalers, which be ac quired that evening, and next morning embarked in the Coast Guard tender for Longhope, but was forced back by a strong gale from S.S.E. He immediately hired a pilot-boat and crossed to Hoy Island, through which he had to travel twelve long Scotch miles before be could reach the Cove, which he would do about nightfall. Lieut. I. states the crew to be in excellent spirits and sanguine of success. The Cove would sail this morning, wind blow ing fresh from S.E.—Yours, &c., JOHN ROBERTSON, J.P. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Q UEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday Eliza Bishop, a girl about eighteen years of age, was brought up in custody from the station-house, charged on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of a new-born male infant, which was found on Consti tution-hill, on Sunday evening last, wrapped up in a sheet of brown paper. Mr. N. M'Cann, surgeon, of Parliament-street, examined the child at the station-house. There was a mark of a ligature round the neck, and some of the bones of the scull were broken. He had no hesitation in saying that that the child was born alive, and had been destroyed by personal violence, most probably by strangulation. The prisoner was remanded until an inquest should be held on the body of the unfortunate child. An inquest has since been held before Mr. Higgs, the Coroner ; and the Jury, after hearing the evidence, re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." MARLBOROUGH -STREET. John Green was yesterday brought before Mr. Conant and Mr. Hope, charged with having committed violent assaults on several of the police. The Magistrates concurred in thinking the assaults was of a very aggravated character, and inflicted a fine of 31., or one month's imprisonment. MAR YLEB ONE. J. Haberfield was charged with vending unstamped pub lications. Francis Morris, of No. 16, Clement's-lane, was appointed by Sir Frederick Roe to look after venders of unstamped publications. On the previous morning he saw the prisoner selling unstamped newspapers in Tottenham-court-road. He gave him in charge to a policeman, when the prisoner called out to the mob of persons who had assembled to as sist him, and they rescued the papers from the policeman. Mr. RAWLINSON, after questioning the boy's father, who said that his son acted by his desire, ordered him to find bail. Joseph Williams was next charged by Webster and Franklin, two officers of this establishment, with the same offence. Twenty-two papers were found on the prisoner, but on his promising not to continue to sell them he was discharged, and the papers ordered to be detained. UNION-HALL. John Wilson, a poor-looking fellow, in threadbare black, with his waistcoat pinned up to his neck to conceal the want of a shirt, was charged with vending, and also with having in his possession, several of the weekly unstamped newspapers. In answer to the Magistrate's questions the prisoner said that he purchased the papers of Cleave, the noted publisher of the unstamped, and gave three shillings a quire for them. The defendant then said that he was in great distress, and that induced him to commence selling un stamped publications. Mr. TRAIL told him that he was liable to imprisonment for selling papers of that description without the stamp. The defendant promised that he would not do so again, and added that he only wanted a little money to purchase a few books at Sherwood's, Paternoster-row, which he sold again and made a good profit upon them. Mr. TRAIL then discharged the defendant, and advised him to summons Cleave to the Court of Requests for the 35., and stated that the Commissioners would compel him to refund the money. The papers were cancelled and sent to the Stamp-office. EDUCATION.—As might have been expected from the liberality of their principles the new Councillors have taken up the subject of the education of the people in good earnest. It is proposed, and in all probability, will be decided, that a school shall be established in each of the 16 wards into which the town is divided. But we hope that the promoters of education will not stop here. A place of the importance which Liverpool has now attained, ought not tolbe without its University or College.—Liver pool Chronicle. _ _ MEETING OF MEDICAL STUDENTS.—Last night a most numerous meeting of medical students was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of considering the present mode of examination enforced at Apothecaries' Hall, and to adopt resolutions to protect the interests of the pupils. The large room of the Tavern was nearly full before the hour appointed for the meeting. After a scene of considerable noise and confusion, occa sioned by the students rushin g to the platform, Mr. Meade was unanimously voted to the Chair. Mr. Wakley, M.P. ; Mr. Carpue, and several other medical gentlemen, ad dressed the meeting on the importance of petitioning Par liament for a reform in Apothecaries' Hall, which they described as being a " sink of iniquity—oppressive in its life, and would be detestable in its death." Its days, how ever, were numbered, and the corrupt body would be an nihilated before two sessions of Parliament had passed. These and other similarly strong expressions were received with the most deafening cheers. Resolutions, setting forth the necessity of petitioning the Legislature for a reform of Apothecaries' Hall, were then unanimously agreed to, and the meeting quietly separated. In the Isle of Man all the parishes hire fiddlers at the public charge, and there is not a barn unoccupied during the whole 12 days at Christmas. On Twelfth day the fiddler lays his head in some one of the girls' laps, and a third person asks, who such a maid, then present, shall marry. To which he answers of his own whim, or agreeably to the intimacies he has noticed during the mer riment ; but whatever he decrees is absolutely depended on as from an oracle, and if he happens to couple two persons who have an aversion to each other, tears and vexation succeed the mirth. This they call cutting off the fiddl er ' s head, for after this he is professioanally dead the whole year. On Saturday night last a most violent affray took place at Sutton Spring, the preserve of Robert Arkwright, Bsq., between a gang of poachers and two of the game keepers. The keepers, it appears, were on their rounds. About eleven o'clock at night they heard the report of fire-arms ; went in pursuit, gave chase to two of the poachers, and succeeded in disarming them, not, however, without great deterinination and violent resistance from the poachers. Finding themselves overpowered, they gave the usual signal for help by a whistle, which brought several of their companions to their assistance, when a regular attack was immediately commenced on the keepers. One of them, during the encounter, had the hat on his head cu,t in two clean down the middle, by a stroke with the gun-barrel of his opponent ; the other keeper received injuries, we are sorry to say, to such an extent that he lies with but little hope of recovery. The poachers also received some knocks, which will probably keep the affray in lasting remembrance. The course of their flight on the following morning was traced by their blood as far as Stavely, a distance of three miles. It is supposed the fellows came from Sheffield. We sincerely hope that through the noted activity of the Sheffield police they will soon be apprehended.—Derby Reporter of Thursday. At a quarter to two o'clock on Saturday morning the stables of Mr. William Proctor, in the hop-yard, Potter's fields, Horsleydown, were discovered to be on fire. By the time the firemen could reach the spot the flames had got complete hold of the building. There were three valuable horses in the stable, of which, after several ineffectual at tempts, one was got out, but in a sadly scorched state, and it is 41oubtful if it can long survive. The other two were burnt to death. The fire next caught the stables of Al derman M. Wood, in which at its first outbreak were a number of cart horses, but these were got out safe. On the opposite side the flames caught the cooperage of Mr. Robert Manley, where they did very considerable damage. The stables of Mr. Proctor and those of Alderman Wood are nearly reduced to ruins. Mr. Proctor is insured in the Sun Fire Office for 2001. On Saturday afternoon an inquest was held at the Green Man public-house, Poplar, on the body of a man, name unknown, which was found on Saturday night in the southern entrance of the West India Docks, at Blackwall. John Collins, a gatekeeper in the docks, stated that about 10 o'clock on the night in question he heard a plunge in the water, as of a heavy body, and immediately proceeded to the spot, where, by the assistance of a drag, he succeeded in raising the body of the deceased. The body was taken to the watchhouse, and every means used to restore anima tion, without success. The deceased was five feet eight inches in height, and apparently about 25 years of age. lle was dressed as a sailor, and in his pocket there was the ad dress of Captain John Steriker, 20, Tredegar-square, Mile end-road.

SPLENDID Rux.—On Wednesday last, Sir Walter Care W's hounds had, if not the very best, one of the best runs that be or any of the Devonshire sportsmen ever witnessed. The hounds met at the Thorns, and after running a fox that dis tanced the hounds, horses and men for an hour, they hit on a drag in Mamhead plantation; a fox was immediately tallied on the opposite hill—quick as lightning they were at him, and away they went across the Ashcombe inclosures to ?IWO , pointing for Lindridge, but rather inclining to the right; the); ran through the plantations of U g b roo k, to t h e San d s, a n through these thick and extensive covers this gallant fox went without deigning to dwell an instant ; crossing the enclosure s and river Tcign, he passed on to Teigngrace, th roug h the canal to Stover, through the whole' o f th ese t o Bovey Heath, thence on through another line of marshes to the back of the village, towards Park House, and was finally run into a met al/ under Mr. Hole's wood, after the best hour and forty-five 011 ' nutes ever witnessed by Devonshire sportsmen, without a oast and only two checks, the first of which was at Sands, which let in the heavy weights, and those who had lost their start. The pace was very much greater after this first check, an d the fencing became very severe, particularly through the marshes, where the hounds went as if the " old gentleman" wa s after them. Sir Walter Carew, an old " Student," was, as h e always is when thus mo un t e d, i n the f i rst ranks, and he bes t knows who were with hi m , f or few there were through the tthouougghhestthpearctouonf country y e w fi a g s h n t. ew L t o o Lord him, Cr a na and s t o t u h n e was brother ver to o very forward,ile of the Members of the county v er y consp i cuous on a young Gains borough ; he flinched at nothing, an d i s f ast becoming a first rate rider; he is too good for the yank ee s, an d we trust he w"' remain where he is. Mr. Digby, a rar e goo d welter, W9 g ~ cheering them through the St over mars h es i n th e hi g hest form, and though riding more than sixteen stone, made soni,e, of the -light weights stare. Th roug h th e conven i ence o f roar and lanes, almost all, upwards of fifty, tumbled in at the deatT and Mi. Newman's son was very properly complimented with the brush, as the fox was found in his coverts.
